There's nothing wrong with those kind of bots
But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that's what it's called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.
These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?
But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots
These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.
Just to clear up really I guess, I'm not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.
I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I'm not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore
Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed
Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it's worth noting this fact
Actually that last point isn't quite right, in the 1960s Robinson proved that the set of hyperreals were logically consistent if and only if the reals were.
This put to rest the age-long speculation that the hyperreals were questionable.
This speculation is a pain in the ass since it means that we primarily use limits when talking about this sort of thing.
Which is fine, but infinitesimals are the coolest shit ever
Why on earth would they delete a post with nearly 1000 likes? Cant quite see why
What does a proper one look like? I knew that there was a correct way to do it but I never understood what it was
This doesn't change the policy and the benefits it will bring in the long run.
It's crap for the delivery drivers though. But longer term isn't forever and at somepoint that wage increase will directly benefit them as well.
Can you imagine the growth from all the people ordering.
Men as in?

How do you know?
Love itch.io. it's what got me into games.
I can vouch for that - considering that's exactly what I did for ages.
Yeah Beethoven only accepts video calls or texts
That is a great origin story for a username; what made you decide to stick with it?
What do you mean hyperinflation, Argentina is clearly the epitome of a stable free market economy.

I think it's that new competitor, or is that threads?
